Message display method and apparatus

Embodiments of the invention disclose a message display method and apparatus. The method comprises: when detecting a touch operation input in a current display interface, obtaining a target touch pressure value of a touch position corresponding to the touch operation; judging whether the target touch pressure value is greater than or equal to a preset pressure threshold or not; and if so, displaying an unprocessed instant communication message in the display interface. With the adoption of the embodiments of the invention, the operation step of starting various communication applications by a user to view unprocessed instant communication messages one by one is reduced, the operation efficiency is improved, and the user time is saved.
